Scottish Certificate for Personal Licence Holders

Who is the qualification for?

Simply anyone who needs an alcohol licence

The Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 states that anyone who authorises the sale of alcohol to the public must hold a personal licence. If you wish to obtain a personal licence you need to apply to your local licensing board. You will be asked for a number of things to support your application; these include proof that you hold a licensing qualification such as the BIIAB SCPLH.

What does the course cover?

The BIIAB SCPLH covers the syllabus set by the Scottish Government to enable candidates to understand the law in relation to:

• the roles, responsibilities and functions of Licensing Boards and Licensing Standards Officers
• the application process for a personal licence
• the application process for premises and occasional licences, mandatory & discretionary conditions
• protection of children from harm
• the content and purpose of an operating schedule and risk assessment
• drunkenness and disorderly behaviour
• licensed hours
• control of order
• the responsible retail sale of alcohol
• roles and responsibilities of the personal licence holder and the penalties relating to failure to comply with the law
• unauthorised licensable activities
• rights of entry to licensed premises
• the strengths of alcoholic drinks and the effects of alcohol on the human body.

What does the assessment involve?

The BIIAB SCPLH has been developed in a way that means it meets the training specification of the Scottish Government and can be finished in one day. The training is followed on the same day by one multiple choice examination.

Training may be delivered in-house at client premises, at our dedicated training centre in Midlothian or at any suitable venue in accordance with client requirements.
